Adding a backdrop to appear behind your card design is a great way to personalize the design and mimic the experience of receiving a traditional stationery invitation.
The steps to add a backdrop will depend on whether you are designing a Card or Legacy Card. You can check the top left corner of the page to tell if your Card is a Legacy Card- any Legacy cards will show the word LEGACY next to our pigeon logo.
